The greatest idea since sliced bread... too bad that leaves a vanishingly small pool of potential work.

"Working as Intended"

Org mode provides a supercharged version of this functionality that will work for any language as long as you can point it to an appropriate runtime. It's definitely a little more verbose, since you have to declare the language and stuff inside the org mode syntax, but I'm sure that you could get it to work ad-hoc with a little hacking.

If you've looked at our environmental efforts over the last 50 years. The trends should be pretty obvious :-) The scam that is recycling exists as an industry mostly to allay the fear of the populace, not address the issue. It's a nice side benefit that sometimes companies can save on costs for certain products.

Thank you for this.
Taking just a step back and looking at our societies, I can't help but agree with this viewpoint.

Our psychic and material conditions are poised to get worse as we rapaciously exploit the natural resources of the planet and destroy the fabric of life across it (not just the casual culprits like extinction, but the general accruing debt of pollution and degradation across the biosphere). Further,our global civilization and the supply lines that enable it (gas, water + sewage, electricity, connectivity) exist in an equilibrium we're actively disrupting.

Another thing to consider is that our biology has adapted for a vastly different experience of environment and society than those we inhabit.

The patterns of human civilization need to change drastically for it to be extant and thriving in 100 years.
